Aston Villa v Celtic Pre match

[john e]

Has anyone got their ticket yet? Mine hasn’t been issued yet.

No, But they are, of course, really easy to activate and use. I suspect the late delivery is a very deliberate ploy to make it as difficult as possible for the green and white army to descend upon our fabled ground.

Fuck me Drummond you should definitely got a job in the promotions dept at VP
Not every single fucking post has to do be defended with a positive spin

Thank you for your kind offer, but you really aren't my type.

I've enough shit to worry about in life without trying to find a negative in everything. The tickets will be issued, everyone will get in, we'll watch the game and hopefully life will be lovely by 10pm on Wednesday.

I'm sorry if my optimistic view of life isn't to your taste, I just happen to believe in what I post. As I'm sure your miserable take reflects yours.

In fairness I’m not to positive about things at the moment on a few different levels

No nothing yet

avfcsupport are tweeting about home tickets being for home fans only, and yet said home fans haven't even been sent the tickets

[Olneythelonely]

They seem a bit nervous.

No wonder, these guys have form.

I can't see a win here so, play off it is.

You "can't see a win" against a team for whom only one player would be make our starting eleven (one of their two centre-backs, obviously)?

That strikes me as strangely despondent.

Remember  mostar last season? We struggled to beat them at home and drew with them away. Doesnt always work that way

Yes, I think that anyone saying ahead of the Mostar games last season that they couldn't see us winning would be similarly strange.

They do, they've put similar messages up before.

Probably because we have lost to two of the shitter teams we should have won against. Add the injuries in i can see why some are worried about the game.

For me he has to go swinkels and konsa at cb vs celtic. Digne needs to stick to left back that was one of the biggest fuck ups last night

It's quite possible that we won't win, for all the reasons that you give, and more besides.

I just don't understand the strange fatalism of not being able to contemplate a scenario where Villa (a better team), beat Celtic (an inferior team).

It's like saying that you couldn't imagine Villa managing to beat, I dunno, Sheffield Wednesday.

Especially as CB aside, pretty much everyone else but Onana is now available.  For many seasons now, we seem to have been reluctant to put young players in and give them a chance when we've been a bit short.  Both Swinkels and Bogarde are in their 20's now and should be chomping at the bit to get their chance.

The only way any Celtic fan can gain access other than the 3002 seats allocated to them is via the GA+ scheme or more than likely Villa fans either profiteering or giving to family and friends.

Either of the latter 2 options and they should be banned for life in my opinion. If you are a villa fan and are lucky enough to have a ticket why the f*ck would you want to give to someone else never mind sell it.

I take no real notice of the pub league they play in but recently i did see Rangers wipe the floor with them - if we play as we can then we should batter them.

Im not happy that all the focus is on McGinn and his boyhood team etc... if he is not in form, and he looked off it on Sunday,  then this is not a charity game to give him a run out.

[jon collett]

Celtic are without two of their better players as well aren’t they? One sold and one suspended

[ozzjim]

5-1 Villa. Rarely confident we'll win, but I am here

[Olneythelonely]

A much more comfortable win than some expect. We’ll batter them.

[VILLA MOLE]

we will need energy structure and to centre halves
